The Joovv is the gold standard when it comes to red light therapy devices. It's a medical grade, modular system that allows you to build the ideal red light therapy setup for your needs over time. It supports both red and near infrared wavelengths and allows you to control them independently. The EMF levels emitted by the device are also third party verified to be within an acceptable range. So I jumped at the opportunity to participate in a study that provided a Joovv to use in my own h...

I've always been a fan of gardening. It probably has something to do with spending all that time out in the sun with my great grandmother digging in the dirt as a kid and enjoying the great things that came from it when it was ultimately time for harvest. I lost touch with this joy for a bit in my 20's. There was nothing like the mind-numbing contrast of the cubicled office to make me want to get back outside and get my hands dirty. After buying my first home with some property, doing some re...

In my quest to become a healthier person, I quickly discovered that honoring our natural circadian rhythm is one of the most beneficial things that you can do. The complex and fascinating internal processes that keep our bodies ticking like well-oiled machines govern much more than just our sleep-wake cycles; they influence our energy levels, hormone release, body temperature, and even our metabolism. Understanding and aligning with our circadian rhythm can lead to improved sleep, enhanced en...

I have suffered from pretty severe myopia for most of my life. Long ago, I just accepted that my eyes would likely keep getting worse. Surprisingly, my prescription has remained unchanged for the last decade! Even though every year, my eye doctor tells me, "this is probably the year you'll need reading glasses", so far, this hasn't come to pass. Read on for the regular practices that I've been following for maintaining eye health.What Am I Trying to Prevent?When I say "maintain...

Just about every thought leader that I follow in the Bio-Hacking space is a fan of Red Light Therapy or Photobiomodulation (PBM). Some use it for reducing pain and inflammation or as a post workout recovery technique. Others tout the benefits related to skin health and collagen production. Still others claim it's a miracle for increasing libido. Based on the research I've read, I was always interested in using PBM as a sleep aid. The biggest deterrent for me was that the best PBM de...

I recently got my hands on a Move+ Red Light Therapy device from Kineon Labs. If you're familiar with my blog, you know that this isn't the first Photobiomodulation (PBM) device that I've used. I regularly use and have written about the 2.0 generation of devices made by Joovv. The Move+ is a different take on PBM.Form FactorWhen you first compare the Move+ to similar devices, the most glaring difference is the form factor. Most other PBM devices are various sized 'panels'. The Move+ incorpora...

Fairly early on in my journey toward better health, I kept running into all the research touting the benefits of sauna use. None of these prescribed a specific sauna protocol, but noted that there seemed to be many benefits that correlated with regular use of sauna. Sauna use wasn't really foreign to me. I had traveled to Ukraine where it was a part of the culture. Some Russian-American friends of mine had also introduced me to the 'Banya'. I always sort of dreamt about having my own traditio...
